Reminds me of the old Cape Cod Route 6 from Dennis to Orleans. It was known as "Suicide Alley". It was three lanes with a center suicide lane for both to use for passing. Uncountable number of fatal accidents over the decades until they repaved it as a NO PASSING single lane in both directions, in the late 1980's. Absolutely insane idea as originally designed.
I remember being on a family vacation in Orleans, MA, in the 70's as a kid and seeing a horrendous multi-fatal accident scene involving a station wagon and some unknown other car so destroyed you couldn't tell what it was. Both cars wound up in the treeline. We stopped because my dad was an ER Surgeon at the time and wound up directing the medics on who to take first and who could...wait. I remember him ORDERING us to all stay in the car just down the street. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._R..._Massachusetts Last edited by njsteve; 04-06-2022 at 09:08 PM. |

Do you listen to the No Agenda podcast? If not check it out. Give it 5 episodes before abandoning it. |

As an aside where I live- the city took a more common sense approach as when the roads were resurfaced they added either one or two bike lanes while preserving the roadway, in essence converting the roadway shoulders into designated bike travel lanes and round abouts.
This was funded by "Complete Streets" https://highways.dot.gov/complete-streets In areas where this was not feasible the federal money was used to convert abandoned rail lines into paved bike trails too. ("Rails To Trails") https://www.railstotrails.org/policy/trade/ Usually, where actions like this are taken without the consent of the taxpayers affected there is a funding pot that the city wants,-and to get it they have to perform but it is widely unpopular and must be forced upon those affected. https://hive.blog/agenda2030/@venomn...to-agenda-2030 |

I believe they split 6 and 6A so they could amortize their tourist deaths in a more efficient fashion?

A week after the city of San Diego implemented a confusing single-lane roadway in Mira Mesa in order to add bike lanes, Mayor Todd Gloria's office informed residents that workers will return the street striping to its original design.
Furthermore, the mayor, who visited the neighborhood on Friday, said that plans to implement the ABL design in Point Loma were "on hold," as were plans for implementing the ABLs in other communities in San Diego. Residents of the proposed radical change to a street in Point Loma told NBC earlier this week that they no idea they were days away from a lunatic departure from reality |
